I I'm 30 years old 5 ft tall and about 135lbs I have a child and about 2 years ago I had smart lipo with fat transfer from a med spa where there they did not clean out the fat whatever they took out they put in my butt when I asked how many CCs were put in they said they didn't know, but hey you get what you pay for $3600. Now I'm ready again and hoping to still be a candidate for a BBL I'm not sure if I need a tummy tuck. I don't have a set budget right now nor do I know what DR but what I am sure of is I WANT this and it will get done one way or another LOL please I'd love to hear any suggestions any of you ladies may have or maybe even concerns. HELPPPPPP

Welcome to RS. You have a nice shape already which should help. The docs may suggest a TT if you've got loose skin. However, some of them are truly skilled with lipo so they can likely work some magic. Have you had any consultations yet?

I got a quote from a doctor in the Dominican Republic but I'm not sure I want to travel out of the country. But today I got a call to set up a skype or phone call consult with Dr Salzahauer. I'm still looking to have consultations with others. Do you have any suggestions?

For the Miami area: Dr. Salama (my chosen ps), dr. Ortega, dr. Pazmino, and Dr. Fisher. For Atlanta: dr. Jimerson and dr. Okoro. NY: Dr. Matthew schulman. Houston: dr. Cortes. Beverly Hills: Dr. Hughes. These are docs in general have happy patients on RS. That doesn't mean they don't have some very unhappy ones too, but in general they seem to have good reps.

Did you do the skype session with him? He will win you over !! He really is the best !!! His work , his prices , and his care/ aftercare. You would get a bargain and the result your looking for :)

I actually talked to Dr Salzhauer yesterday and he said he would take my case since some doctors won't.

Are you trying to stay in the Bay Area or are you willing to travel?
August 9, 2014
Not exactly I'm just looking to stay in the US I see all these lovely ladies coming back from DR but I don't think I could do that. Do you have any suggestions?

IKR! I also love how they have services that cater to surgery patients in the DR. I don't wanna travel and I'm trying to have my surgery done like across the street from my house lol, but I know I'm not gonna be happy with my results. Check out a review from girlblk, I like her results, but she hasn't updated in over a year. She had her surgery done in Folsom, Ca.

I saw a beautiful women maybe on her late 20s I asked for her doctor information and she said she couldn't give it out that information. I was shocked she did tell me it was in the Bay Area but no other details she also said she didn't want anyone else looking like her. I've thought about la as well but it just seems to be so pricey but in reality I'd be paying the same amount by flying to Florida and the stay so I'm not sure I'm confused. Have you had any consults yet?

Hello :) Thanks for your comment. I'm back home now and doing so well. Did you work out your doc? My PS Dr Alex Campbell is amazing and worked with people with cleft lips and all sorts of deformities so I am sure you would not be a challenge. He is also really cheap (my all body lipo including face and bbl was $3052). He's also very good to respond, so might be worth getting a quote. I travelled all the way from Australia to Colombia and it was still cheaper than other places. All the best hun xx

Dr. Salzhauer Miami FL and Dr. Edgar Contreras DR quote!

princessme
Dr. Salzhauer quoted me 6,900. I posted the picture of the quote. I talked to him over the phone and said he would work with me since he had seen worse cases. He's really nice I didn't feel rushed I asked a bunch of questions that I never asked my first doctor he also said I wouldn't be able to get a huge butt since there's a lot of scar tissue but that max he would be putting in 500 CCs in each cheek I'm ok with that since all I want is to have an even booty!


Ok now for Dr. Edgar Contreras YES I know about all the drama with him but I just wanted to get quotes and compare! His response was unbelievably fast I emailed him late night and he got back to me before I even woke up. LOL others I've reached out to haven't even sent me an auto reply haha well here it is.
